Wikipedia:Colours

Hi, i'm from the community portal redesign project. We're discussing color options, and i was initially looking around for this: Wikipedia:Colours. I also found you folk, and was wondering if any of you would be interested in helping expand the list of suggested color schemes at Wikipedia:Colours (to maybe 4 or 5 schemes max? that don't clash with each other). In our discussion, we all like the colors at commons:Help:Contents. I'll be adding those (and a few more from Wikipedia:WikiProject_Usability/Color) to Wikipedia:Colours as soon as i can (decipher the tables).

I also thought it might be a page worth adding to your Goal's list, or as something worth watching over. Thanks :-)--Quiddity 05:53, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

Color peer review

The talk page for Color says there was a peer review for that article, but it looks like the archive has been deleted. Does anyone know what kinds of comments the article got? I hate to bother people with another peer review on the same article, but it would be a good step toward getting that article to FA. Thanks! -- Laura S | talk to me 19:18, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

Seems to be a mistake?[1] Nothing in the Peer Review archives for it. There was one for Wikipedia:Peer review/HSV color space/archive1, and a no-feedback review attempt of Wikipedia:Peer review/Dominant wavelength/archive1 though. I'll remove the banner. --Quiddity 18:04, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Userbox

I got bored :) and created a userbox for our project. I'm keeping it in user space for now since that seems to be the direction userboxes are headed. Please feel free to copy/question/comment/subst and change the text color to your own favorite! -- Laura S | talk to me 02:44, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Template:Swatch

I wanted to add some optional height and width parameters to this template. I'm not sure if I got it right. Can someone check it out and improve as necessary. NoSeptember 13:34, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

I added a color tool article

I added a Color tool article, which I think is relevant, considering that most people don't have color values memorized and are used fairly often. I am going to expand this article, as time permits. I was wondering if I could add the WikiProject Color support tag to its talk page? Thanks. (Narkstraws 04:05, 4 July 2006 (UTC))

It's definitely relevant and probably valuable. We just need to make sure that it doesn't devolve into a long list of software, and we especially need to beware of spam in the list. -- Laura S | talk to me 13:26, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

added tag per request :) -Quiddity 19:23, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

thanks. :) (Narkstraws 16:28, 20 July 2006 (UTC))

Interesting discussion on gamma correction

There is an interesting discussion on Talk:List of colors#Gamma corrected? about whether all colors that are not gamma corrected should be described as "incorrect". I don't want to bring the argument here, but I think it would be useful if more participated in it, whatever their view. Notinasnaid 12:51, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads-up :) -Quiddity 19:23, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Project userbox

I added {{Wikipedia:WikiProject Color/Userbox}} to the project page. Interestingly, the colors don't display correctly there! I wonder if it's interacting somehow with one of the other templates. Rfrisbie^talk 19:04, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

Link colors?

Hey, I hope its ok to ask this here, I'm wondering if there is a way to change the colors of links in Wikipedia like you can with html using these commands: alink="#33ffff" link="#33ffff" vlink="#33ffff" --blm07 15:21, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

Not recommended. The site has a consistent look&feel that should remain the same (otherwise we'd splinter into little aesthetic fiefdoms..)

But what specifically did you have in mind? Is this for an article, portal, or template? --Quiddity 18:46, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

I'm thinking about making my own small wiki that uses custom colors for the pages, based on the colors at my homepage (check Horizons on my talk page) --blm07 19:16, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

Ahh, you want help desk help of some sort. Try either http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Communication orWikipedia:Help desk, or maybe something under Help:Contents/Technical information. Hope that helps. --Quiddity 19:40, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

WikiPalettes

I've noticed some of the high-level "WikiPalettes" are similar but not the same, such as those below.

Reference page headers #AFA3BF #D9B8CE #A3BFB1 #D9CEB8 #A3B0BF #DDCEF2 #F2CEE6 #CEF2E0 #F2E6CE #CEDFF2

Community Portal #DDCEF2 #A3D9BE #D9CEB8 #B8C7D9 #F0E1FF #CEF2E0 #F2E6CE #CEDFF2 #FAF5FF #F5FFFA #FFFCF5 #F5FAFF

Is there some place where such things are coordinated? Rfrisbie^talk 01:03, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

Hypothetically, WP:COLOUR. But not many people know about it, and I havent had a chance to update it much recently. (I want to expand the list on the projectpage, from the concept-table on the talkpage. And to merge the usability projects page on colour to there. See its talk for more details). --Quiddity 01:37, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, but that was too obvious for me to find it on my own! ;-) Rfrisbie^talk 02:27, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

Adolf Hozel

Does anyone have info on Adolf Hozel? His article stub just got a {{bio-notability}} tag, and is in danger of deletion. --Quiddity 05:58, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
